Expression of Interest Request

An Expression of Interest (EOI) is required to request any support to undertake a procurement exercise which is in excess of £25k. It gives justification for the requirement and will help us to prioritise (with the support of your Head of Service) the procurement support required across the Authority.

EOIs will be reviewed on a weekly basis by the Corporate Procurement Unit (CPU).

Once your request is reviewed, we will contact you to advise on the next steps and carry out full engagement with the lead officer to gain a better understanding of the requirement and assess if there is capacity to complete the required work.

If the request is approved, then the project will be added to the CPU’s Forward Work Programme for delivery.

Please provide advance warning of procurement exercises as the CPU will need to factor these into its Forward Work Programme.

To further increase the chance of your EOI request being approved, please ensure it is submitted at the earliest opportunity.
